Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The best british band since Suede, and that was quite some time ago,
amazing songs, a singer that wears ray-ban, excellent b-sides on their singles
though i watched an interview of him and couldn t understand a single word :oops: ,
still i m so excited with them. Top!!Top!!Top!!

Not bad. Pretty average lyrics though. Mary Chain-ish which isn't a bad thing.

When your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
When your standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back from the edge
I will turn your tide
Be your shepard and your guide
When your lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk you home safe and sound

When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know thats just the Prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I'll be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker


I see you need me
I know you do
:innocent:

That was the abridged version btw ;D

Their Nirvana cover was a bit shabby, but the album's worth a punt I s'pose.
Cheers.

The follow up album will be recorded in a burnt out church in Finland. It's a concept piece about Satan, war and stubbing your toe on the stairs.
Weegie Metal-you'll love it ;D
